Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.

This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.

But it's not very far off.

For my middle school forensics competition, I recited an Andy Rooney column that was reprinted in Readers Digest. Those were the days. He turned out to be kind of a crank in the end, though.

99% of all biopics are terrible in a deadly dull, by-the-numbers way and that 1% that are wonderful are just enough to give people hope. Cursed genre.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants

Instead of No Kings I gave a bunch of my money to drag queens at brunch. Seems like a fair expression of disapproval.
